Biblioteca Cathariniana

History The library was founded in the 13th-century in the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria. The convent of Santa Caterina was affiliated with scholars such as Giordano da Rivalto, Bartolomeo da San Concordio, and Domenico Cavalca. These scholars participated in the religious education of students at the monastery. A nucleus of the collection was the donation of 61 codexes by Fra Proino di Orlandino da Fabro, cofounder of the monastery and colleague of Thomas Aquinas. After the suppression of monasteries in 1783, the collection acquired part of the library of Guido Grandi from the Camaldolese Monastery of San Michele in Borgo.
